The Lord's Supper: A Guide to the Heavenly Feast (Christian Essentials)
by John W. KleinigYou receive Communion. But what does it mean? In The Lord's Supper: A Guide to the Heavenly Feast, John W. Kleinig awakens a hunger for meeting Jesus in the bread and wine. The Bible tells us that Jesus came from heaven to earth to give us himself, and his self-giving continues in the meal that he hosts. In the sacrament of Communion, Jesus offers believers nothing less than his holy, life-giving body and cleansing blood. He brings heaven to earth for us and gives us a foretaste of the heavenly supper of the Lamb. And by faith, we commune with him. In the Eucharist, Christians give thanks for God's gift of himself. "My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods." —Psalm 63:5

Star-Crossed Lovers: James Jones, Lowney Handy, and the Birth of From Here to Eternity
by M. J. MooreFrom Lowney Handy's scandalous small-town open marriage to author James Jones's extraordinary apprenticeship with Maxwell Perkins (legendary editor of Hemingway and Fitzgerald), Star-Crossed Lovers illuminates an unforgettable love story. She was an eccentric small-town self-taught rebel, driven by creative zeal and a non-conformist streak. He was a distressed ex-GI (flat broke, without prospects, damaged by war), 17 years younger than she, consumed by visions of a writer's life. Lowney and her husband invited Jones to live and write at their home in Robinson, Illinois. Many years of struggle ensued. In the end, Jones's From Here to Eternity won the National Book Award and profoundly transformed American literature. The 1953 film adaptation swept the Academy Awards in 1954. Expanding their shared vision of life, the Handys and Jones incorporated a unique writers' colony in 1951 that was funded mostly by Jones's Eternity royalties. This is their odyssey of love, passion, and conflict, which remains exceptional in literary history.

The Kafka Studies Department
by Francis LevyFrom Francis Levy, author of Seven Days in Rio, which The New York Times called "a fever dream of a novel," comes The Kafka Studies Department, a highly original collection of short, parable-like stories infused with dark humor, intellect, and insight about the human condition. While the book's style is deceptively simple and aphoristic, it carries a hallucinatory moral message. A prism of interconnected and intertwined tales, inspired by Kafka, the stories examine feckless central characters who are far from likable, but always recognizable and wildly human.

Diejenige, die ungewollt dieses Elixier liefern wird, ist die menschliche Wissenschaftlerin Leila. Sie hat ein Medikament gegen Alzheimer entwickelt, das als unerwartete Nebenwirkung den Geist der Menschen so sehr schwächt, dass diese den Dämonen nicht widerstehen können. Als der Hüter der Nacht Aiden den Auftrag annimmt, Leila zu beschützen, entfacht verbotene Begierde zwischen ihnen. Bald sind sie gezwungen, sich auf die einzigen Menschen zu verlassen, denen sie vertrauen können: einander.

Aber ein unsterblicher Krieger rettet sie und ergreift mit ihr die Flucht. Logan und Winter versuchen nicht nur vor den Dämonen zu fliehen, sondern auch vor den Hütern der Nacht, die sie hinrichten wollen, falls Logan sie nicht davon überzeugen kann, dass Winter lebend mehr wert ist als tot. Ein verzweifeltes Rennen gegen die Zeit beginnt, in dem Logan alle Register ziehen muss und sogar die Vampire und Hexen von Scanguards zu Hilfe ruft, um die Frau zu retten, in die er sich verliebt.
Faithful Doubt: The Wisdom of Uncertainty
by Guy CollinsFocussing on three philosophers - Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, and Slavoj Zizek - Faithful Doubt argues that atheism can be redeeming. Far from being inhospitable to faith, doubt is increasingly necessary for theology. As well as introducing the thought of contemporary philosophers, 'Faithful Doubt' examines the significance of popular entertainment and nrrative. Novels by Ursula K. Le Guin, Neal Stephenson, China Mieville, and others are read alongside 'Star Wars' and 'Battlestar Galactica'. Fiction highlights the fluid nature of the sacred and the secular. On the question of evil, 'Faithful Doubt' suggests that wisdom lies in acknowledging uncertainty. Weaving the story of Job together with St Augustine, Donald MacKinnon, and Eleonore Stump, evil exemplifies the necessity for doubt within theology. 'Faithful Doubt' brings a new perspective to debates about the relationship between faith and reason. Concluding with a discussion of Soren Kierkegaard, Collins presents a compellingcase for harnessing atheism and doubt in service to Christian faith. In order to doubt wisely we need to heed the faith of the faithless.
A Full Circle
by R. Timothy RushI recommend A Full Circle. Dr. Rush (Niieihii Nenookeit) captures the spirit, customs, and values of my people in a story straight from our history. --Burnett Lee Whiteplume, Sr. (Nowoo3), Arapahoe, WyomingIn 1878, two years after the Greasy Grass fight that some called Custer's Last Stand, U.S. soldiers and government contractors rounded up 270 Arapaho people. From the very young to the very old, they were forced to walk from Fort Robinson in western Nebraska across half of what is now the state of Wyoming. Their destination: the Shoshone Indian Reservation. The new home of the Northern Arapaho was a wilderness, but it was theirs and they were glad. Then came another tragic event.

Marcello & Jane (Les Vampires de Venise)
by Tina FolsomDébut des années 1800, Venise, Italie. Au cœur du labyrinthe de ruelles et de canaux de Venise, le vampire sensuel Marcello Sebastiani est confronté à une crise explosive : pour conserver son héritage séculaire, un somptueux palais, il doit présenter à la ville des documents introuvables. La dernière distraction qu'il peut tolérer dans cette situation difficile est l'arrivée de l'Anglaise Jane Emery, d'une beauté insolente. Sa simple présence éveille en lui un mélange dangereux de désir et de résistance. Jane a fui une sombre menace et cherche refuge à Venise auprès d'un mécène qui soutient ses ambitions musicales. Mais la réalité la frappe de plein fouet : son protecteur est mort, ses espoirs d'une vie indépendante sont anéantis. Dans son désespoir, elle se tourne vers le sombre et beau Marcello, dont l'aura mystérieuse la trouble autant qu'elle l'attire. Elle le supplie de l'aider, sans se douter que ses contacts hésitants vont allumer une flamme qui dépassera ses rêves les plus fous — une proximité dangereuse qui attire son cœur vers un territoire inconnu. Mais les ombres du passé de Jane s'étendent jusqu'à Venise et menacent de déchirer leur fragile lien. Marcello, dont la vie immortelle a rarement été touchée par une telle passion, doit prendre une décision risquée : il doit tout mettre en jeu pour protéger Jane du danger qui approche. Dans ce jeu dangereux entre désir et menace, leurs destins s'entremêlent dans une danse passionnée au bord du précipice.

Swallows, Amazons and Coots: A Reading of Arthur Ransome
by Julian LovelockIn 1929, Arthur Ransome (1884-1967), a journalist and war correspondent who was on the books of MI6, turned his hand to writing adventure stories for children. The result was Swallows and Amazons and eleven more wonderful books followed, spanning inpublication the turbulent years from 1930 to 1947. They changed the course of children's literature and have never been out of print since. In them, Ransome creates a world of escape so close to reality that it is utterly believable, a world in which things always turn out right in the end. Yet Swallows, Amazons and Coots shows that, to be properly appreciated today, the novels must be read as products of their era, inextricably bound up with Ransome's life and times as he bore witness to the end of Empire and the dark days of the Second World War. In the first critical book devoted wholly to the series, Julian Lovelock explores each novel in turn, offering an erudite assessment of Ransome's creative process and narrative technique, and highlighting his contradictory politics, his defence of rural England, and his reflections on colonialism and the place of women in society. Thus Lovelock demonstrates convincingly that, despite first appearances, the novels challenge as much as reinforce the pervading attitudes of their time.Written with a lightness of touch and enlivened by Ransome's own illustrations, Swallows, Amazons and Coots is both fresh and nostalgic. It will appeal to anyone who has enjoyed the world of Swallows and Amazons, and there is plenty here to challenge both the student and the Ransome enthusiast.
